“…The potential of plant-based nanoparticles to treat different cancers is being extensively studied and well reviewed [76] and the application of silver and gold nanoparticles to treat cancers is a very active area of research investigations [76][77][78][79][80]. Recent studies revealed that the use of the various metallic nanoparticles in medical sciences has various applications, such as bio-imaging [81][82][83][84], bio-sensing [85][86][87], and drug delivery [88][89][90] of nutraceuticals [23,26,[91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99], and pharmaceuticals [17,20,31,100], which could affect disposition [13,24,25,[27][28][29][30]32,33,[101][102][103][104][105][106][107]…”

In the last decade, the green synthesis of nanoparticles has had a prominent role in scientific research for industrial and biomedical applications. In this current study, silver nitrate (AgNO3) was reduced and stabilized with an aqueous extract of Thelypteris glandulosolanosa (Raqui-raqui), forming silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-RR). UV-vis spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) were utilized to analyze the structures of AgNPs-RR. The results from this analysis showed a characteristic peak at 420 nm and a mean hydrodynamic size equal to 39.16 nm, while the STEM revealed a size distribution of 6.64–51.00 nm with an average diameter of 31.45 nm. Cellular cytotoxicity assays using MCF-7 (ATCC® HTB-22™, mammary gland breast), A549 (ATCC® CCL-185, lung epithelial carcinoma), and L929 (ATCC® CCL-1, subcutaneous connective tissue of Mus musculus) demonstrated over 42.70% of MCF-7, 59.24% of A549, and 8.80% of L929 cells had cell death after 48 h showing that this nanoparticle is more selective to disrupt neoplastic than non-cancerous cells and may be further developed into an effective strategy for breast and lung cancer treatment. These results demonstrate that the nanoparticle surfaces developed are complex, have lower contact angles, and have excellent scratch and wear resistance.

“…The holding of the release of GM crops to the market prevents the economic benefits that countries can attain through their production. However, a solution has been developed towards such issue is by labelling of the GM crops for the market sales ( Delgado-Zegarra et al., 2022 ). Such labelling’s allow for the consumer’s sovereignty as the people have the fundamental right to know what food they are consuming and about the processes involved in its production ( Yeh et al., 2019 ).…”

“…After the completion of harvest, farmers have to re-purchase the seeds from the seed producers. It has been argued that such a technique provides seed companies more control over what the farmers should grow, and it is considered to be unethical by the society ( Delgado-Zegarra et al., 2022 ). But, from an innovation perspective, it is ethical to protect intellectual properties, because these seeds are the obtention of biotechnological companies, they need to have the same intellectual property protection rights as any other potential product, such as the protection of a new software developed by an IT company ( Muehlfeld and Wang, 2022 ).…”

Genetic modification of crops has substantially focused on improving traits for desirable outcomes. It has resulted in the development of crops with enhanced yields, quality, and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. With the advent of introducing favorable traits into crops, biotechnology has created a path for the involvement of genetically modified (GM) crops into sustainable food production systems. Although these plants heralded a new era of crop production, their widespread adoption faces diverse challenges due to concerns about the environment, human health, and moral issues. Mitigating these concerns with scientific investigations is vital. Hence, the purpose of the present review is to discuss the deployment of GM crops and their effects on sustainable food production systems. It provides a comprehensive overview of the cultivation of GM crops and the issues preventing their widespread adoption, with appropriate strategies to overcome them. This review also presents recent tools for genome editing, with a special focus on the CRISPR/Cas9 platform. An outline of the role of crops developed through CRSIPR/Cas9 in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) by 2030 is discussed in detail. Some perspectives on the approval of GM crops are also laid out for the new age of sustainability. The advancement in molecular tools through plant genome editing addresses many of the GM crop issues and facilitates their development without incorporating transgenic modifications. It will allow for a higher acceptance rate of GM crops in sustainable agriculture with rapid approval for commercialization. The current genetic modification of crops forecasts to increase productivity and prosperity in sustainable agricultural practices. The right use of GM crops has the potential to offer more benefit than harm, with its ability to alleviate food crises around the world.

“…Food choice is influenced by consumption patterns [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ] and eating and cooking behaviors, which have changed dramatically in 20 years, partially influenced by rapid urbanization [ 5 ] and increased awareness of nutritional labeling related to the presence of transgenics [ 2 ]. Furthermore, consumers seek cleaner labels and the presence of bioactive compounds because of their preventive claims [ 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the probability of buying food away from home according to the type of household using the logit model, as well as the sociodemographic characteristics of the heads of household, and how much income expenditure represents. A cross-sectional study was carried out using the National Household Survey (ENAHO) 2019 database. After joining the database, the household type variables were created. To calculate the probability with the “logit” model of purchase, the variables—family size, income, types of household, and total expenditure—were selected as a measure of the purchasing power of the family. A statistically significant association (p < 0.05) was found between the probability of consumption and the variables: age of household members, predominance, nuclear without children–married, nuclear with children–cohabitant, nuclear with children–widowed, nuclear with children–separated, extended, compounded, poor not extreme, and not poor. The bulk of families was represented by nuclear families (61.97%). The highest expenditure in the CFAH was for families defined as composite with a yearly average of USD 1652.89 (equivalent to PEN 5520.67). Observing the expenditure on food consumed outside the home through the composition of households can allow a better approach to offer educational measures. This information can be helpful to developers of educational issues.
